Recommended models: QCK series, DEX
As early as 2001, SteelSeries launched the most classic glass mouse pad in history, Icemat, which uses glass to achieve a smoothness that far exceeds that of traditional cloth pads, while taking into account the precision of control. After its launch, the Icemat quickly became the darling of gaming enthusiasts, and once led the trend of high-end gaming mouse pads. It can be said that today's big manufacturers SteelSeries has entered the user's field of vision through the mouse pad.
作为国内公认的三大外设厂商之一,赛睿每一代Mouse pad都有精品诞生。由于赞助了相当多的电竞战队,口碑从职业玩家逐渐辐射到普通游戏玩家当中。树脂垫S&S、金属垫SX、SC都曾是细分类型中相当优质的产品。
But if you want to say the most classic cloth mat of SteelSeries, it is still the QCK series. While many people pay attention to resin pads, coated pads, and vulcanized pads, QCK is one of the few traditional cloth pads that has maintained high heat for a long time.
Of all the types of mouse pads, the pads have the greatest damping and controllability, and they will be more advantageous in games that require high mouse movement accuracy such as FPS.
In the professional arena, represented by Qck Heavy and Qck, the Qck series is the mouse pad that appears the most often. The unique QCK Heavy has a thickness of 6 mm, which is much higher than that of ordinary cloth pads, and the handling is noticeable due to the softer surface. At present, QCK cloth mats are available in four sizes, from MINI to table mats, and the price ranges from 60 to 200 yuan.
Compared with QcK's traditional cloth mats, QcK limited's black and white plaid cloth is full of design. The delicate surface weave texture makes it feel very warm and comfortable to touch. In addition, Limited is also SteelRange's first edging mouse pad, which prevents the mouse pad from curling in use. However, it should be noted that if the flatness of the mouse pad is demanding, the bulge of the edging will occasionally affect the operating feel. Compared with the traditional QCK cloth mat, the price increase of Limited is not large, and the large size is only about 180 yuan.
The cloth pad is the most applicable mouse pad, which appears in all gaming and office scenes. However, in order to increase the smoothness and pursue the smoothness of game operation, resin pads, vulcanized pads, and coated pads have been born - although QCK cloth pads are still the most important product line of SteelSeries, but SteelSeries is also very eye-catching in the process of pursuing smoothness, and vulcanized pad DEX, resin pad 4HD and 9HD are the top products in their respective subcategories.
The most worth mentioning is the vulcanized pad DEX, whether in terms of workmanship or performance, SteelSeries QCK DEX is one of the best vulcanized pads on the market today, the honeycomb shape on the surface reduces the contact surface with the mouse pad, thereby significantly reducing friction, and the embossed LOGO makes the mouse pad have a very strong overall feeling. In addition, the DEX is easy to clean and waterproof, and the feel is very good. For users who pursue a smooth sense of use, SteelSeries DEX is a very excellent product, which can only be purchased by overseas shopping at a price of about 400 yuan.
In terms of RGB mouse pads, SteelSeries also has quite excellent products, QCK Prism is designed on both sides of cloth and resin, and the light effect can be synchronized with other SteelSeries RGB equipment. Compared to Razer and CORSAIR RGB mouse pads, the advantage of SteelSeries Prism is the 360-degree surround lighting. The downside is that in terms of RGB drivers, there are still some gaps between SteelSeries and Razer and Corsair. The price of RGB mouse pads is usually not low, and the price of Prism is as high as 450 yuan, which is not cost-effective, and it is recommended for RGB enthusiasts to buy.
